On a side note, back in the Nineties, my brother and his wife took ten kids (ten!!!) into their small two room in house apartment on my parents house and raised them for over a year. It was a sad thing, My brother's sister-in-law wasn't really competent to raise all those kids, and the Greek guy who impregnated her took off with all their money and went back to Greece, never to be seen again. The house and the kids (all with completely Greek names like Socrates and such) were in a sorry state, and Child Protective Services were going to put them in a foster home so my brother and wife took them in. They ranged from about four years old up to 14 IIRC at the time.
All boys, too.
An amazing act, in my eyes.
Anyway, I was visting one day, and looking out the second story window at the kids, all of them running around doing strange things and singing in unison (poorly) something, and I couldn't quite make out what it was.
They had their arms fully extended, spinning around in place, running to and fro, and it looked vaguely familiar...then it hit me.
They were ALL doing this!!!!
Now, this was more than 20 years after the film was released! It made me suspect there was something in the movie that appealed particularly to little boys!
though were tough and able.
quite in de fat ti gable.
between our quests, we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable.
here is a bit of an old man’s insight.
Young men if you find a girl who actually believes Monty Python is funny, she is likely an amazing candidate for marriage.
Peasant: Who’s that then?
Dead Collector: I dunno, must be a king.
Peasant: Why?
Dead Collector: He hasn’t got shit all over him.
Castle Anthrax certainly appeals to little boys. Please, let me stay and FACE the peril!!!
I introduced my grandson to Monty Python & The Holy Grail when he was about 10 years old. He’s close to 30 now, and still can quote it word for word. (I created a monster ;~)
